Discover the Top 3 Tips for Finding Your Perfect Neighborhood and Dream Home!

A Neighborhood with the words Your Perfect Neighborhood? Your Perfect Neighborhood?

Finding the Right Neighborhood

When envisioning your ideal home, do you focus on the property itself or the surrounding community? While it’s easy to get caught up in details like the number of bedrooms and bathrooms when searching for a new home, the most important decision you’ll make is where to live. So, how can you find the perfect home that fits your lifestyle?

Consider these three tips to determine if a neighborhood is right for you:

● Look at the basics
Research the median home sale price in the area, as well as the quality of local schools and nearby amenities. Also, consider the popularity of the neighborhood in the current market.

● Observe the neighbors
Get a sense of the local community and activities. Does it appear to be a place with frequent block parties and social gatherings, or do people tend to keep to themselves?

● Understand the traffic patterns
Knowing the proximity of major roads and public transportation is important, but also consider the frequency of traffic congestion during peak commuting times. Additionally, research any potential road closures due to local events or activities, like weekend farmers’ markets. Be mindful of the available parking options for both yourself and guests.

By following these tips, you’ll be able to find a home in a neighborhood that aligns with your lifestyle and needs.

3 Rules You Should Remember When Shopping For A Mortgage

Man and woman holding papers shopping for a mortgage in Coastal Virginia Mortgage Shopping in Coastal Virginia

If you’re in the market for a new home, you’re probably in the market for a new mortgage. Here are 3 critical shopping tips for anyone looking for a new loan.

  • Know the Terms
    All the terms of a loan matter. Unfortunately, shopping for a mortgage is not as simple as finding out how much a lender will let you borrow and at what interest rate. You’ll want to get a complete breakdown of what any offer your receive means to you on a monthly basis as well as how much money you’ll be spending over the life of the loan.
  • Not all Mortgages are the same
    There are several mortgage types available to residential home buyers. Most people will shop for a traditional fixed rate mortgage, but other options are available including adjustable rate loans (ARMs), Federal Housing Administration loans (FHAs), and Veteran’s Administration loans. You’ll want to be sure to understand what kind of loan a lender is offering you.
  • Fees, Fees, Fees
    Most loans have fees associated with them in additional to the principal amount borrowed to buy the home. You can sometimes borrow the money need to cover these fees, but that will obviously increase the overall amount of debt you undertake. Some fees are paid up front, and others are not due until closing.

If you’d like to chat with personally about how to shop for a mortgage and what other questions you can ask lenders to find the best deal, call us! We’ll get you started on the right path so we can start looking for your new home!

What Would You Do With One Million Dollars?

Boat, shore with houses, lighthouse, What Could You Do With One Million?
What Could You Do With One Million?

Listing and selling properties for our clientele is the core of our business at EXIT Realty with one special feature added; sponsoring! Our salespeople have a unique advantage to earn huge revenues from helping to build the company. Here’s how: If John sponsors Mary into EXIT Realty whereby she is recruited by management as a sales agent and she, for example, generates $100,000 in gross earnings annually, he receives an mount equivalent to 10% of this as a special bonus paid out by EXIT Realty Corp. International as her transactions close. This amounts to $10,000 for that year and would total $100,000 in 10 years. If John sponsors in nine others with the same sales production (again as an example), his bonuses would amount to $1,000,000 in that same time frame, and that’s on top of his own commissions! Could you do anything with this?

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES of you having $1,000,000 in the bank in 10 years based on what you’re presently doing?

Call 757-466-1009 and ask for Kimberly for a discreet appointment!
